Swarm Catalyst
Scute Swarm is a compact engine piece that rewards steady land drops and punishes slow boards. Cast for {2}{G}, it enters as a 1 1 Insect that generates a 1 1 green Insect token whenever a land comes into play under your control. With a single card and disciplined sequencing you convert basic plays into board presence without extra mana investment.
Its true strength arrives in midgame board states. Once you control six or more lands the token created becomes a full copy of Scute Swarm, scaling into exponential token production as each subsequent land triggers multiple copies. In Commander decks built around landfall, sacrifice themes, or token synergies this card turns routine plays into recurring threats while fitting cleanly into green ramp and value shells.
